Accept Compromise Boost Fulton Taxi Win Rate Increases FULTON Taxi fases will "be increased in the city, but not as high as was proposed by the city's major cab company. After a public hearing last night before a crowded council chamber the aldermen voted to allow taxis to boost their rates to 85 cents for one or two passengers from 5 a.m. to midnight, and charge 15 cents for each additional passenger. From midnight to 5 a.m., the rate will be SI for one or two passengers, plus 15 cents for each additional passenger. Mel Sirough and Robert Truesday, owners of ABC-Ace Taxi had proposed a $1 rate for from one to four passengers, SI for delivery of, a parcel and 25 cents for a passenger with groceries.

After discussion, the aldermen felt the jump from the present 65 cent rate to $1 would be too high and asked the cab firms to settle for the compromise rate. The city is also serviced by Fulton Taxi whose owner, William Crepo, said he would consider a raise of 75 cents a fair increase. The sanitary sewer rents proposal, which failed to get the approval of the council at five end-oMhe-year sessions, passed last night as public law No. 1 of 19G7. The law stales each water user will be' billed an additional 75 per cent as a seivcr-usage fee.

Exceptions will be allowed in the case of industrial and commercial consumers of water, who may enter into alternate contracts. At the request of several laundromat and car wash operators at the session, Ihe council authorized the canitallon commission to enter into an alternate contract with commercial laundromats and car washes within city limits at a rale of 50 per cent of their water billing. Also adopted last night was a $114,000 budget for (tie newly- formed sanitation department. The budget includes salaries, expenses, maintenance, supplies, light, heat, power insurance, (axes, pensions, ex- penses, bond principal- and bond interest. Another resolution passed by the council requests the governor, stale senator and assembly-! man to take any and all necessary action to see the proposed rebuilding and expansion of Route 57 be included in the 1967 budget, li further stated the Common Council of Fulton sees Ihis as an utmost emergency to the proper development and safely of the city.

The mayor was authorized to enter into a contract extension with Joseph Warner for refuse disposal for a six-month period, with a six-month option to renew under all the terms and conditions of the original contract. The pact calls for ar immediate $750 payment to Warner, expressly Jo be applied to the rental of lands with which to perform Ihe contract, and another 5750 if (he option is exercised. Warner will also receive $942.50 per month for each and every month he performs the duties of the agreement. A resolution lo close off cer tain streets for sliding purposes was not presented after the al-i iermen decided it would be especially dangerous this year because the Broadway Bridge closing means rerouting of traffic. It was agreed several oat- of-lhe-way spots could be made available for sliding purposes.

The matter of naming an official newspaper drew a three- three vote and the mayor re fused to break the tie. The motion by Fourth Ward Alderman Harold Guilfoyle and a second by Third Ward Alderman Rob- ert Burleigh to rename the Fulton Patriot as official newspaper was reintroduced after the first tie vote. Also voting in favor of (he motion was First Ward Alderman Louis Fabrizio. Against the motion, anJ apparently in favor of having the other weekly, the wego Valley News, named official paper for the tirst time in history, were Second Ward Alderman Samuel Vescio, Fifth Ward Alderman Vernon Sheeley and Sixth Ward Alderman Edgar Gardner.
